Player News
Curtis Granderson returns for Yankees
by Bill Passonno | CBSSports.com
(3:21 pm ET) Yankees outfielder Curtis Granderson was activated from the disabled list for Tuesday's series opener against Seattle after recovering from a broken forearm that kept him on the shelf for the first six weeks of the season. Granderson became the first New York regular to return from the DL as the team has also been without Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter and Mark Teixeira since the season started.

Jonathan Lucroy gets a breather
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(3:14 pm ET) Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy is not in the team's starting lineup Tuesday.

Lucroy will receive a normal day of rest, and should return Wednesday. He'll be replaced by Martin Maldonado, who will bat eighth. Lucroy has struggled this season, and is hitting .216/.264/.333 in 111 at-bats. 


Russell Martin returns to lineup
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(3:10 pm ET) Pirates catcher Russell Martin has returned to the starting lineup Tuesday.

Martin hasn't played since May 9 with neck soreness. Martin will bat seventh, and face Brewers starter Kyle Lohse. Martin is hitting .263/.358/.526 in 95 at-bats this season. 


Shane Victorino settles back into two-spot
by Bill Passonno | CBSSports.com
(3:06 pm ET) As expected, Red Sox outfielder Shane Victorino was in the starting lineup as the No. 2 hitter for Tuesday's game at Tampa Bay after dismissing concern surrounding his ribs and back. Victorino was cleared to play Monday after crashing into the right-field wall at Fenway Park while pursuing a home run by Toronto's Emilio Bonifacio the day before.

Rickie Weeks returns to Brewers' lineup
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(3:03 pm ET) Brewers second baseman Rickie Weeks has returned to the team's lineup Tuesday against the Pirates. 

Weeks will bat seventh for the second straight start. He received a routine day off Monday. He's struggled this season, hitting just .181/.302/.276 in 127 at-bats. 


Chase Utley gets third day off
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(3:02 pm ET) Phillies second baseman Chase Utley was left out of the starting lineup Tuesday against the Indians for just the third time in 40 games this season. Kevin Frandsen replaced him in the starting lineup.

Utley, who had a season-high four hits Sunday against the Diamondbacks, is batting .273 (12 for 44) with two home runs, three doubles, five RBI, six walks and six runs in 12 May games.


Ryan Braun back in Brewers' lineup
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(2:56 pm ET) Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun is back in the team's lineup Tuesday.

Braun needed a day off to rest his neck Monday, but it wasn't thought to be serious. The neck soreness hasn't impacted his production. Braun is hitting .306/.396/.579 in 121 at-bats. He'll face Pirates hurler Jeff Locke in his return.


Lingering illness throwing Josh Hamilton off
by Bill Passonno | CBSSports.com
(2:53 pm ET) Angels outfielder Josh Hamilton said he has been trying to play through an illness for the past 10 to 14 days, which contributed to his early removal from Monday's game against Kansas City, the Los Angeles Times reports. Hamilton, who had two hits before leaving after six innings, said he only started taking antibiotics last Saturday for a possible respiratory infection.

"I was not lightheaded. I was just sick," he said about the departure. "The equilibrium wasn't quite where it needed to be. You don't really get a sick day unless you've got a 103- or 104[-degree fever]."


Prince Fielder on streak at home
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(2:46 pm ET) Tigers first baseman Prince Fielder has reached base in 23 straight games at Comerica Park.

Fielder is one of the best hitters in baseball, so these types of streaks shouldn't be unexpected. At home, he's hitting .295/.444/.607 with five home runs this year. He'll have a chance to extend his streak Tuesday and Wednesday against the Astros, and then the Tigers will play in Texas Thursday.


Report: Jair Jurrjens slated for Saturday
by Bill Passonno | CBSSports.com
(2:43 pm ET) Orioles pitcher Jair Jurrjens is expected to make his team debut Saturday against Tampa Bay, Fox Sports reports. Baltimore is in need of a starting pitcher with Wei-Yin Chen headed to the disabled list with an oblique injury and Jurrjens has enjoyed sound success in the minors.

In eight starts for Triple-A Norfolk this season, Jurrjens has registered a 4-1 record and 3.14 ERA while displaying improved command. The veteran right-hander has amassed 16 strikeouts and just two walks over his past three outings, completing at least seven innings in two games. Most importantly, he has also surrendered just two home runs over 51 2/3 total innings on the year.
